Ms. CORTEZ MASTO (for herself, Mr. Cramer, Mr. Armstrong, Ms. Blunt Rochester, Mr. Blumenthal, Mr. Crapo, Mr. Heinrich, Mr. Hickenlooper, Ms. Hirono, Mr. Hoeven, Mrs. Moody, Mr. Moran, Mr. Scott of Florida, Mr. Padilla, Mr. Schiff, Ms. Rosen, Ms. Slotkin, Mr. Van Hollen, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Risch, Ms. Duckworth, and Mr. Wicker) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to:
S. Res. 794
Whereas the United States relies on safe, reliable,
affordable, and clean electricity to power its economy, as
well as homes, small businesses, industries and
manufacturers, colleges and universities, schools, hospitals,
cities, and communities, and so much more;
Whereas journeyman lineworkers play a critical role in
keeping the United States energy grid running 24 hours a day,
7 days a week, 365 days a year;
Whereas journeyman lineworkers perform heroic services
during national and regional disasters, including hurricanes,
wildfires, tornadoes, and ice storms, and also work in tough
terrain, extreme heat, and cold areas of the country;
Whereas journeyman lineworkers consistently work long hours
often under dangerous conditions to restore power;
Whereas journeyman lineworkers put their lives on the line
every day to ensure the delivery of safe and reliable power
to the United States, and its territories;
Whereas July 10, 2026, marks the 130th anniversary of the
death of Henry Miller, the first president of the
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who was
killed in the line of duty while trying to restore
electricity during an outage in Washington, D.C.; and
Whereas there should be a day to honor the hundreds of
thousands of men and women who have also put their lives on
the line over the past 130 years to provide skillful service
in times of local or national crisis: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate—
(1) supports the designation of July 10, 2026, as
Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day;
(2) honors and recognizes the contributions and sacrifices
of countless journeyman lineworkers who often place
themselves in harm's way to serve their customers and their
communities; and
(3) encourages the people of the United States to observe
Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day with appropriate
reflection.
